Action Requested: Approve the hiring of Greg VanDerSchaegen for the Seasonal Parks and
Grounds Maintenance position.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • At the April 7 meeting, the Council approved a job description and
authorized advertisement for this position.
• A part-time maintenance worker position was eliminated from the budget
after a long-time employee retired in the fall of 2008. For 2009, the city
decided to utilize seasonal workers in both winter(for snow-plowing)
and summer(parks and ground maintenance.)
• Twenty applications were received for the position. After the
applications were scored four candidates were chosen for an interview.
One candidate declined, and three were interviewed by Administrator
Hurlburt and Maintenance Supervisor Morrison on May 6. Greg
VanDerSchaegen is recommended for the position. He is a Scandia
resident. Due to his background and experience in construction work
and equipment maintenance, the recommended pay rate is $10.00.
• A conditional offer of employment has been made, subject to completion
of criminal and driver's license background checks, and approval by the
Scandia City Council.
• Mr. VanDerScheagen's work schedule would typically be three to four
days per week, with the exact days and hours to be determined by
Supervisor Morrison depending upon work demands and weather
conditions. The position will terminate after approximately 60 work
days, or by the end of the grounds maintenance season whichever is
soonest.
Recommendation: Approve the hiring of Greg VanDerSchaegen for the Seasonal Parks and
Grounds Maintenance position, effective May 20, 2009 at the pay rate of
$10.00 per hour.
